Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
I Am Ariel
Andrea Posner-Sanchez · 2011
66/100
👎 Skip It
Bright Batson art and the beloved Little Golden Book format make this an easy bedtime grab for Disney fans, and for that narrow purpose it works. But there is almost no story here — it is a character reel, not a book — and kids who do not already know Ariel from the film will have very little to hold onto.
